Item Number (Scilab gateway)

How to get the number of items in a list (list, mlist, tlist).

Calling Sequence

SciErr getListItemNumber(void* _pvCtx, int* _piAddress, int* _piNbItem)

Arguments

:_pvCtx Scilab environment pointer, pass in “pvApiCtx” provided by

api_scilab.h.

: :_piAddress Address of the list. : :_piNbItem Return the number of items. : :SciErr Error structure where is stored errors messages history and

first error number.
